Meh. As far as I'm concerned, these mobile OSs are stripped down crippleware
designed to run on limited, minimalist hardware. Which is fine for mobile
phones. I *love* that I can do a Google search on my phone from almost anywhere
I'm likely to be, but that does NOT mean my phone is my preferred way of doing
Google searches. Take the screen up to tablet size, though, and I don't want
the limitations of a stripped down phone OS.
Right now, I'm using all the mainstream OSs: Android phone, iPad 2 and iPod
Touch, MacBook and iMac, Windows 7 on my desktop PC and the old Dell laptop
that runs the post count script, and Windows XP on the kitchen laptop that sits
there running Winamp for streaming music. Of all of those, iOS is my least
favorite. At least with Android, there's a menu button to give access to extra
functions. A lot of times with the iPad, I look for what to me should be an
available function, and it's all, "Extra functions? You don't need no steenking
extra functions!"
My attitude about tablets has gone from thinking my next one will run Android
to unless it's got a full, proper OS, there won't be a next tablet.
